Good evening,

What a glorious month it's been for the Grand Midway Hotel. Halloween always makes for such a brilliant, colorful season in these mountains. I feel like Dracula giving tours to Jonathon Harker in his romantic, far off Transylvania castle. And now the Autumn leaves have begun to change so it's beautiful.

This is just a note of hello and reintroduction to the Grand Midway Hotel's web page.. The virtual tour, which includes views into all the rooms, halls, hiding spots, and basement among other treats, is currently growing. It offers updates of many of the projects being created here. It also exposes haunted stories going on within these darkened, enchanted walls, as well as collected letters from the visiting guests, and archive photos of everyone's adventures as well.

The Grand Midway Hotel is not open for business. It is a private home. It was purchased by singer/songwriter Damien Youth and his wife Betsy Black, and myself, filmmaker Blair Murphy, a few years back as a "breathing canvas." Several artists have resided here since and manifested projects in their own time here. I now remain as the sole owner and host.

If you'd like to peek into our mysterious Shangri La, hopefully it is after midnight, light a candle in a darkened room, and feel free to further explore the writings and photographs of this forum.

I wish you an excellent Halloween.

Thinking of you -from here.

Blair
